“The Department of Justice (DOJ) announced Monday that it had begun the process of ending the citizenship of 10 foreign-born individuals accused of serious offenses ranging from sexual abuse of a child to fraud.”
It should only be if their naturalization is fraudulent.
Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.
For the others a bullet at the base of the skull and burial as a citizen is acceptable.
No, it isn’t. No state executes people for fraud.
If they did, they wouldn’t have any representatives in congress.
I was already sold, you don’t need to convince me
I think the argument is that the crimes they committed either made their application fraudulent (if committed before naturalization) or violated their oath (if committed after).
If you lie about your criminal history on your application, it is grounds for your residency, and yes, even your citizenship, to be revoked. We have enough home grown liars and crooks already, and don’t need to import any more of them despite the fact democrats prefer them cause democrats are all crooks & liars too.
I don’t see how either of those crimes are a violation of their oath.
“Support and defend the laws and the Constitution of the United States” would be the part of the oath at issue. It’s a stretch, but it’s hard to say you are supporting a law when you are violating it. “Abide by the laws” would be cleaner.
There are plenty of laws I don’t support.
“Last month, in a 6-3 ruling, the Supreme Court (SCOTUS) approved President Donald Trump’s plan to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for at least 450,000 Haitian migrants who had been welcomed to the United States by former President Joe Biden.”
So only 449,900 to go?
Does Tim Walz know about this?
I’m guessing the local graftsters don’t need/want any competition.
SCOTUS didn’t approve Trump’s plan. They ruled the courts had no business interfering with it, which is not the same. Phrasing it the way the media (spit) does makes it sound like what the President (and occasionally, when they do anything, Congress) does is propose things for the courts to review and accept or reject.
I wish all laws passed were also temporary… Revote every 5 years to keep government bullshit. And temporary doesn’t mean decades. Never should.
It would be meaningless. Every Congress would start with a ritualistic renewal of the entire federal code.
Combine it with a ban on omnibus bills though…
And while I’m at it, I’d like a magical talking unicorn that shits 9mm ammo.
I’m supposed to vote for a woman who doesn’t have a single position on any policy? And no qualifications other than being related to a warmongering weirdo?
She’s testing to find out the direction of the wind. Give her a break.
If she had principles she wouldn’t be running for office.
She still has to go through a primary.
Not according to the raging morons on X. Apparently, there is a coronation and suddenly we’re back to No Kings!
lack of any real world experience is necessary to be a commie believer.
Yes and Trump’s endorsement tells you all you need to know about her policy stances or at least her willingness to be compliant. Now quit being an antiAmerican Iran lover and get a votin’.
Yes, committed members of a political party are supposed to vote for even a yellow dog if that is whom the bosses select.
“A crazed former US Army soldier and National Guardsman set off fireworks and lit a fire outside a Manhattan federal building Monday in an apparent anti-ICE terror attack, officials said.
Andrew Arrabaca, 43, a veteran from Poughkeepsie, “came armed with bad intention” to 26 Federal Plaza, where he fired five to seven pellets from an airsoft rifle at the building before lighting fireworks and sparking a blaze at around 8:30 a.m., the feds said.”
Lame.
Must have been a REMF.
“You ever pick your toes in Poughkeepsie?”
10 people is our largest denaturalization effort ever?
They almost never prosecute immigration fraud properly.
Remind me gain why I should vote for Team Red to Save the Republic(tm) in the Most Important Midterm Election Ever(r)?
New Republican slogan: If you vote for us the collapse might come a few days later
Has to be q strange thing to hate your supporters so passionately.
“We need cheaper labor with our subsidized crops”
Letting them apply for H-2A is better than letting them stay here completely off the books.
Kicking them out is better than either.
There appears to be a lot of unemployed people living in tents in cities around the country. They need transportation to the more rural areas where employment opportunities abound.
I’m not sure that a bunch of drug-addicted schizophrenics would make up an ideal harvest gang – but who knows?
ES, Philip K Dick knows best.
The druggies in major cities found their way to the major cities chasing the benefits and the lawlessness in the first place. They can fire up their motorhomes, grab a dozen or so that don’t have wheels and head to the field.
They have to head to the showers when they get to the work camps first though.
In other news, 47 Republicans are “retiring” this year.
The buried lede is that it is also amnesty for the employers who illegally hired them.
Those employers should be in prison.
The Chamber of Commerce strikes again!
Fuck that. If it came down to a choice, I’d keep the illegals and deport the employers.
As always, the Iron Laws show us the way. Thanks for the reminder.
If they restrict this to just workers in certain industries, it would seem they are also leaving themselves open to equal treatment lawsuits. Not that congress has ever passed flawed legislation in bad faith knowing that it would be overturned by the courts.
Absolutely which is what they want of course.
Idaho Dairy Association.
They have been blasting adds in southern Idaho lamenting their situation.
So many of team Red are democrats that run in deep red districts and states because they know most will simply pull the lever for them in uncontested primaries and the general. Then when the get in they are hard to unseat.
AP- “One Tech Tip: How to sooth thumb pain when texting and scrolling”
WTF is wrong with people? (Age, possibly.) The steady ‘holding hand’ should be calm, helps sooth the overactive ‘wanking hand.’
One hand washes another. (Possibly afterward, possibly with soap. (Philistines.))
Step 1 – Put the damn phone down.
Step 2 – Look up and engage with the world around you.
this is the way. this way, and not some other way.
I engaged with the world around me and twisted my ankle!
“Judge Eric Tostrud issued the 56-page opinion”
That’s nice. Here’s my 64-word rebuttal:
“This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.”
It’s possible for this sanctuary stuff to be non-cooperation only, which is legal. The problem is that passive non-cooperation can very easily cross the line into active obstruction, which is not. The policies and laws themselves might be written up as passive non-cooperation, but I’m betting that in practice, like with that idiot judge in Wisconsin, they play out like active obstruction.
this is my understanding of it, also. they aren’t saying that the fed has to pull up stakes and leave the state completely (except for free goodies!) but, rather that they will not help the fed (but still get free goodies).
IANAL, but not sure how hiding and helping people who entered illegally isn’t “accessory after the fact”.
How about we round up all the illegals whose native countries refuse to take them back and dump them in Minnesota? Just a few millions, I would imagine.
Wait just a damned minute! Give me time to pack up and move to NoDak before MikeS locks the gate.
Fuck that noise!
I wouldn’t even wish that on the Iron Rangers up near Fourscore
Michigan gets a couple million too.
And NYC.
Okay. Pushup warmps done, extra Focus Pills taken, and fire under my ass. Today will certainly start with watching and rehearing how manager and Other New Dude work the system. I found some stuff last night that may help me, and I feel better about my entry today, but still worried if I’ll make it through this Test Week to see if I make it through.
Onward and up comes with a side of the vanguard busting through the door. I’ve certainly wedged my foot in the door. Time to Man Up and break on through (to the other side). (I really quite hate Morrison, but their first (only?) album is fantastic. Most props go to Manzarek.)
Come on folks. Take the day on. I’ll do my share.
“Rand Paul discloses bombshell evidence that FBI blocked CBP interview of Fauci ally”
The CIA did more of the same. The deep state used that virus Fauci and Dashek created in Wuhan’s release as a means to rig an election and get rid of a guy that was wrecking their marxist global reset.
Understand that our elite have heavily invested in CCP China and globalism, as they believe this is the only way they can avoid competition, and even conflict, with the Chicomms, which they believe will destroy their power and wealth. So they are selling the rest of us out hoping they get to keep whatever they have looted in the process of selling us out.
marxist global reset
SQAWK! Alex want a cracker!!! marxist global reset SQAWK!!

“Democratic Georgia gubernatorial candidate Keisha Lance Bottoms is attempting to cancel a black-owned business for serving a Republican.
Bottoms, the former mayor of Atlanta, joined online calls Friday to boycott Toast on Lenox, a popular black woman-owned Atlanta restaurant, after it welcomed Republican gubernatorial candidate Rick Jackson, according to a video posted to Instagram.”

Other than the lack of terrain, quite nice.
have elections until they become inconvenient. That’s how the left does it. Kudos to this Ortega asshat for basically telling everyone he doesn’t care if they know commies are evil scumbags.
The author of the linked piece seems to be implying that the mainstream media is in the tank for Democrats. That’s just crazy talk.
What kills me is how many marxist douche nozzles think these wholly owned dnc shills are right wing…
This WSJ is a hoot!
They Used GLP-1s to Lose Weight. They Ended Up in Treatment for Anorexia.
https://www.wsj.com/health/wellness/glp1-anorexia-wegovy-mounjaro-1bf4035c?st=k4Evot&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink
Anorexia kills a higher percentage of patients than any other eating disorder, and it is the second most deadly mental illness after opioid addiction, according to data compiled by the nonprofit National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders.
By all means click the source for this data and note how the cohorts are defined.
https://anad.org/learning-library/eating-disorder-statistic/#general
Can it get better? Why yes!
Jamie Thayer, 48, was prescribed Wegovy for weight loss. “It was like a miracle at first,” she said.
She weighed 240 pounds when she started taking the drug in March 2023, and she rapidly started to shed pounds. She also experienced very low energy, hair loss, severe dizziness, fainting spells from low blood sugar and brain fog. Her son, who had recovered from anorexia, shared his concern with her that Thanksgiving.
“I was really proud of my weight loss at that point,” said Thayer, a Title IX coordinator in Frederick, Md. “I thought I was doing a really good thing.”
Okay you do have to change your diet and begin exercising too. Otherwise that does happen.
“People in Larger Bodies” 🤣
People experiencing fatness.
If those two women from the In-N-Out story sat on me, would that count as “experiencing fatness”?
‘…it is the second most deadly mental illness after opioid addiction,
Since when the fuck did opioid addiction become a mental illness?
It’s been a disability under the ADA for ages now.
The disease model for addiction has been around for a very long time.
“It’s been a disability under the ADA for ages now.”
That’s nuts.
“They don’t have a good bathroom for doing coke.”
Every time I hear that shit on some preachy PSA I fly into a rage.
The disease model is a fine model.
The fools that have convinced themselves adiction IS a disease are the problem.
And she kept taking it? Jeebus.
She was a Title IX coordinator, the brain fog was already baked in.
I’ll say it again – GLP-1 agonists and their descendant (+GIP, +GCG) seem to be very effective tools for controlling appetite.
I think their ideal use is as a tool to support people in transitioning. To more healthy eating habits. Using them to allow you to keep eating low nutrition garbage and continue a sedentary lifestyle while losing weight is probably not going to end very well.
I think their ideal use is as a tool to support people in transitioning.
Exactly. My wife generally ate healthy, but in excess. They’ve allowed here to reduce her portion sizes while still feeling full.
Using them to allow you to keep eating low nutrition garbage and continue a sedentary lifestyle while losing weight is probably not going to end very well.
Agree absolutely.
The obvious question is “where is the doctor?” in all of this.
You cannot have excessive weight loss unless the Doc continues to prescribe at very high doses.
Anorexics are just thin people that choose to identify as overweight and grotesque. We should celebrate anorexia, maybe give them a flag and a day/week/month/season.
It’s body dysmorphia, we treat other dysmorphia with surgery, don’t we?
“A prominent black Big Apple politician compared Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s comrades in the Democratic Socialists of America to white supremacists as a bitter rift between Democrats spilled onto social media.
Queens Borough President Donovan Richards breathed new life into a longstanding complaint among minority lawmakers that the largely lily-white DSA ignores race in its crusade to grow its ranks and dismantle capitalism.”

“A brawl broke out between an In-N-Out employee and a customer in Northern California early Saturday morning. Video showed the employee throwing punches after a customer was allegedly disrespectful towards her at the In-N-Out on 2001 Alta Arden Expy. in Sacramento around 12:33 a.m. Saturday.
The video of the altercation appeared to show the In-N-Out employee with the upper-hand in the fight before she was eventually restrained by her coworkers.”

“A 27-year-old woman died after being injected with an anti-aging serum at a holistic wellness center in The Bronx — and cops arrested the unlicensed doctor, police and sources said Monday.”
https://nypost.com/2026/07/20/us-news/nyc-woman-27-dies-after-getting-anti-aging-serum-injection-at-holistic-wellness-center/
To be fair, she stopped aging.
I don’t like aging myself, but I do not want to go like a Chinese emperor poisoned by his alchemist for immortality.
If you drink enough quicksilver you will not age, it is known.

Newest trend in wedding gowns
goddamnit this is all wordpress fault.
I didn’t know WordPress made wedding gowns.
If they recognize AIs as people (perhaps 60% of a people?), then they can tax them. Problem solved!
Yesterday, I highlighted the distributional concerns raised by aged societies: those with high life expectancy and low fertility. Many readers objected that the elderly need fewer resources, since they often already own a home, are less active, and have no young children to support.
All of that may be true, but it is not how the political system works. No large group of voters ever concludes that it receives too much.
https://x.com/JesusFerna7026/status/2079197849502294287
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Democracy simply doesn’t work.
We have the best politicians that money can buy.
Elderly need g fewer resources.
I think I am going to need more.
Property tax is going to continue going up at 10-12% a year. The house has been paid off for ever. Tires and maintenance are not getting cheeper. And I’d like to travel a bit. That crap ain’t cheep.
“Donald Trump is preparing to unleash a fresh wave of tariffs on dozens of countries within days, brushing aside warnings from his own advisers that a renewed trade war could rattle the economy ahead of the midterms.
The President hammered Canada with a 50 percent levy on a sweep of goods on Monday, days after slapping 25 percent duties on Brazilian imports.
Now officials have drawn up options for Trump to hit dozens more nations as his blanket 10 percent global tariff is set to lapse on Friday, the Financial Times reports.”

OFFS!!
To be expected from an egomaniacal tard who’s unwilling to admit mistakes.
+every trade deal he has made and then broken
I’m not against targeted tariffs that are thoughtfully designed but the implementation here has been a disaster and it looks like it’ll continue to be.
Didn’t the court just get done slapping him around and saying you can’t do that without Congress along for the ride?
They struck the broad tariffs issued under one novel interpretation of one set of rules giving POTUS emergency powers. They did not strike down all tariffs possible under all rules.
Even if these get struck down again, he gets to punish some countries for an extended period of time until that happens.
“he gets to punish some countries for an extended period of time until that happens”
…he gets to punish consumers for an extended period of time…

Editorial lays out all the relevant facts and proceeds to come to exactly the wrong conclusion.
The crisis in the Persian Gulf won’t be solved by Washington’s bombing more targets or offering more financial concessions to Tehran. Pipelines built to avoid the strait can help but won’t measurably diminish the Persian Gulf’s centrality to global commerce. The U.S. Navy must reclaim the Gulf and patrol it indefinitely despite the hazards.
Iran’s Fortitude Is Its Decisive Edge
The ayatollahs want to fight and have a greater tolerance than Trump for pain.

All we need is a draft, a lot of (other peoples’) coffins, and a willingness to stick our dick into a meatgrinder for either perpetuity or until fusion becomes workable. Where do I sign up?
I didn’t see where the editorialists offered either themselves or their sons for the cause.
I can’t wait until the dems take power, Iran gets a nuke, then uses it. I am gonna bet they will then blame Trump…
They’d be fools to not get one at this point and they don’t seem to be fools.
They almost did. And we almost found out how bad that would be.
Well, if Iran uses a nuke against either us or Israel, they’ll find out what an actual arsenal of nukes can do.
JI gets it.
Israel isn’t helpless. Many countries have red buttons and no one knows where the sympathies lie.
“Well, if Iran uses a nuke against either us or Israel, they’ll find out what an actual arsenal of nukes can do.”
And that is where you misunderstand them. They do not fear that result at all. That cabal (I USED IT) of monsters in Qom has for 47 years been trying to start Armageddon so their Mahdi can finally come and settle the schism between the Sunnis and Shias (and they believe it with be in their favor). The Soviets didn’t want dead. I suspect even the CCP doesn’t want dead. The mullahs want dead…
No, but it is extraordinarily vulnerable to even a couple of small nuclear bombs.
Regardless, the scenario where Israel gets nuked and then Iran gets nuked in response should be at the top of our list of “things we’d rather not happen”.
JI, I’m not sure that a troo bleever lefty President would engage in nuclear retaliation.
RC Dean:
I’ve been convinced for a while now that the next TEAM BLUE administration isn’t simply going to be vetoing aid to Israel, but actively helping the “Palestinians” achieve a One Arab State solution.
Mr. Dean, a president who didn’t retaliate would be impeached faster and more overwhelmingly than the greatest fantasy about Trump. If he wasn’t just assassinated first.
I dunno, JI. I am less than certain that you could get a Senate with as few as, say, 40 Dems to produce the required 2/3 vote to remove.
Exactly. What we need is more regulation to fix the prior regulation. That will fix our completely broken organ donation system.
Ultimately, Congress should amend the National Organ Transplant Act to prohibit organ donations caused by assisted suicide, just as it already prohibits the interstate sale of human organs.

“Clearly we don’t have the ability to secure the shipping lanes without resorting to untenable escalations.”
Totally disagree. But there is a game to be played to do what needs to be done. To some people no option other than being held hostage and pretending there are no consequences suffices. But there is an alternative.
So the alternative is what exactly?
“Glass Parking Lot”
Neutron bomb was made for this – you want to keep the infrastructure and just get rid of the people.
“Neutron bomb was made for this – you want to keep the infrastructure and just get rid of the people.”
Other than the oil facilities, what is there to want to keep there? I thought they had already wrecked all historical stuff cause it was not Islamic.
So the alternative is what exactly?
One of those untenable escalations I mentioned.
Boots on the ground is untenable. They could park naval assets in the strait to guarantee safe passage, but they have chosen not to, and probably for good reason. The air campaign has been less than effective.

“Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez should run for president
The congresswoman can run a serious national campaign on the left and pull a movement in behind it. She should get in early”
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/jul/21/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-for-president
She should run against Schumer. She’s only 36, and that’s a race she could win.
The Dems seem to be less about substance and I’m not sure she’s incapable of getting the nomination. If the Reps are radioactive enough running against her in 2028 who knows? Stealing Schumer’s position would be much more of a sure bet though.
Sure, why not. She won’t win but it will be amusing AF watching her attempt to debate any opponents.
She’s basically an actress who’s good at spouting sound bytes. That makes her qualified these days.
Theatre kids are impressed by other theatre kids playing real life….
“In early July, Miles Tamboli, the owner of the midtown pizza spot, made a decision: he would not serve the national guard deployed to the city by the Trump administration, which the US president claimed would reduce the city’s crime rate. Tamboli’s video announcement came days after troops killed two city residents, bringing the total to four since the initiative started in September.
After a post by local activist Hunter Demster highlighted Tamboli’s post , with links to a wider “buy-cott” of businesses refusing service to the taskforce, radioactive rightwing accounts Libs of TikTok and Fox News Radio host Todd Starnes called for a boycott.
But a few days later , the Italian “junt” (in Memphis parlance) opened with a full house and had a line waiting by 5.30 pm. Waitstaff said the shop was never that crowded that early; extra crew was brought in to help.”
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jul/21/trumps-memphis-taskforce-sparks-backlash
Huh, the Guardian found white people in Memphis.
“radioactive rightwing accounts” 🙄
Amazingly, it seems like The Guardian isn’t telling the whole story.
Mike Simpson pushing for illegal aliens?

“Camping”
When he refused to leave the Nashville public park where he has lived for the past several years, Williams became one of a handful of homeless people in the country to be arrested and charged with a felony for camping on public property.
Eleven states have passed homeless camping bans over the last four years, according to the National Homelessness Law Center. In the two years since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that cities can ban people from sleeping and camping in public, more than 300 municipalities have joined them. Supporters of these laws say they enable public officials to enforce rules that already exist and provide incentive for unhoused people to seek shelter. But opponents call the laws cruel and say that an arrest record only makes it harder for those experiencing homelessness to secure a job or a home.
The maximum penalty for felony camping in Tennessee is six years in prison. Williams pled to a lesser charge and was released from jail after nine days.
That sounds more like squatting. Taking up long term residence on somebody else’s property without permission is indistinguishable from theft.
When he refused to leave the Nashville public park where he has lived for the past several years, . . . .
squatting, not camping
What, you don’t think he’s on an extended hiatus from his high paying job?
Never change, NPR. You are the home for liberal elites who never have to deal with the consequences of the radical policies you support.
It’s crazy but real people don’t actually like stepping over disgusting bums during their daily routine.
Neither would the NPR bots, but they are safely isolated.
That park is huge.
Also I would say public parks are theft.
If public parks are theft, is there any reason why people shouldn’t be allowed to just take up residence in them?
“Phillips-Fein studies conservatism and “questions about capitalism and democracy”. Her first book, Invisible Hands, was a study of businessmen who fought the New Deal of the 1930s.

Not many books start with founder John Adams and end with Peter Thiel of Palantir, Musk’s fellow techno-fascist. Might such company seem unfair on Adams, the Boston lawyer who was part of a great revolution but feared what was unleashed?”

techno-fascist!
Just declare everyone you don’t like a fascist and work backward from there.
That’s exactly how they do things…
Neutron bomb was made for this – you want to keep the infrastructure and just get rid of the people.
Be sure to get an extremely broad dispersal.

Devon Kurtz, who oversees Cicero’s homelessness and public safety policy efforts, has been a vocal critic of the longstanding program model known as Housing First, saying it is ineffective. Housing First, which has long been promoted by experts and homeless outreach workers, aims to get unhoused people into stable housing before attempting to address any other needs, such as mental illness and drug or alcohol addiction.
Yes, people who intentionally, obdurately refuse to leave the streets are just waiting for the nice people at the government funded non profit homeless advocacy club to offer them a free room where they can drink themselves into a stupor, or smoke crack in private seclusion.
“Housing First” is a complete fraud and grift and does not work.
I have seen the evidence with my own eyes. All I have to do is look out the window at the crack-house the city opened across the street. And the constant presence of cops, fire trucks, and ambulances the drug dealers and addicts attract.
Yet somehow I am the asshole for not wanting my money taxed to pay for the grifters or the addict.
“Punishing people and using police to address homelessness only makes the crisis worse, and it prolongs people’s experience of homelessness,” said Krinks, who also helped start the statewide coalition Housing for All Tennessee. “Most people I know experiencing homelessness are so hungry for freedom, for agency, for their dignity to be seen and recognized and understood. Jail erodes every aspect of a person’s agency.”
They’re all poets and artists. Servants of The Muse. Far above the puny bourgeois conventions of middle class America.
LET THEM GAMBOL!
Demolishing USAID was supposed to defund these wackos.
“to be seen” 🤣😂
I see more than enough of their bullshit already thank you very much.
I know what they are hungry for: more drugs.
England’s new PM pledged to end homelessness. Strange given he was mayor of Manchester and he did not end it there. also that city is a garbage dump.
To be fair, it will be easier to give every bum a job after you nationalize the economy.
but do the bums spend the money on housing?
No, they get housing for free so they can spend their money on drugs.

He should blame it on Brexit.
Oh, he will. And on Thatcher. And Neo-Liberalism.
What about me?

Land of the free, they said
The Supreme Court agreed Monday to review an Alaska bush pilot’s claims that state authorities have tried to illegally seize his $95,000 airplane after a passenger brought a six-pack of beer on a flight bound for a dry village.
The pilot, Kenneth Jouppi, sued to block his plane’s seizure after he was convicted of an alcohol-related misdemeanor charge. The Alaska Supreme Court ruled in the state’s favor that Jouppi’s plane was subject to criminal forfeiture laws.
On Monday, however, the nation’s highest court agreed to hear Jouppi’s case. He argues that taking his 1969 Cessna would violate the Eighth Amendment’s “Excessive Fines Clause.” Arguments are expected in the fall. Under Supreme court rules, four justices must vote to take up an appeal in order for it to appear before the court.
Burn it all down.
It is known that certain people can’t handle alcohol. We have no choice.
Let them not handle it.
Not my problem.
If you can’t handle it suffer consequences if you abuse it.
Forfeiture laws are per se 4th amendment violations. Change my mind.
Alaska’s attorneys said Jouppi hasn’t shown how punishing him with forfeiture of his plane is “grossly disproportional to the gravity of his offense.”
“Alcohol abuse is a serious problem in rural Alaska, and airplanes are sometimes the only realistic means to commit the crime of alcohol importation,” they wrote.
Why not summary execution?
*does not compute*
Nice living you have there. Shame if we take your business from you over a sixer.
